Brown drafted by Vancouver Whitecaps

Brown becomes the fourth Musketeer to be drafted in the last seven years and gives XU a draft pick for the second straight year. In 2017, Jalen Brown was drafted in the second round (38th overall) by NYC FC.

Nick Hagglund was the last XU soccer player drafted prior to Brown, going 10th overall to Toronto FC in 2014. Luke Spencer, who went to New England with the 22nd pick of the 2013 draft, was Xavier's first-ever MLS draft pick. All four picks XU picks have come in the first three rounds.
